As an au pair in New Zealand, you’ll receive a fair and competitive salary while gaining valuable experience and enjoying all the benefits of living with a host family. The salary will vary depending on the number of hours worked and the specific agreement between you and your host family, but rest assured that it will cover your living expenses and provide you with some extra pocket money for fun activities and personal savings.

Typical salary breakdown:

While the weekly salary is meant to cover your essential living expenses, the experience itself offers much more than just financial compensation. As an au pair, you’ll receive a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in New Zealand’s culture, improve your language skills, and gain hands-on childcare experience while living in a welcoming environment. This role is about balancing work, fun, and learning, allowing you to create unforgettable memories during your time in New Zealand.

Note: The salary is determined by the agreement with your host family and must meet the minimum wage requirements set by New Zealand’s employment laws. At Au Pair Link, we assist you and your host family in ensuring the salary terms comply with these requirements, so you can focus on your experience with peace of mind. Always ensure that the terms are clearly outlined in your agreement to avoid any misunderstandings.
